Favorite Criss Oliva solo.....

What is your favorite Criss Oliva solo?

Can you pick just one?

BTW, that was a rhetorical question for Dallas Black. He can't pick just one.

All of them are great (IMHDO)

The one that is monumental is "Edge Of Thorns"

Dude I forgot that one, but I agree.

If forced to pick just one, that's the one I'd go for. Gutter Ballet's probably my second favourite but it is a really tough choice.

When I saw the thread title, I thought of Ghost in the Ruins. Without analyzing any further, that's my vote.

If you really start thinking about it, there's too many awesome solos to choose from.

I had to go with "When the Crowds..." if only because it sets the stage for one of Jon's best vocals in the history of ever.

That said, I don't know that I could pick one otherwise.

I picked 24 Hours Ago - the ride out in that is epic.

I would have chosen this, but opted for Hall Of The Mountain King.

Hard to believe I'm the only one who thinks Follow Me is the best.

I go back and forth between Ghosts and Follow Me all the time,

Gutter ballet.

period.

I gotta go with Hall Of The Mountain King,along with Prelude To Madness.

I really love them all equally, but went for 24 Hours Ago.

I also like that Edge Of Thorns.

Of course I like 'em all, but if pressured, I'd have to go with Miles Away (which is probably my favorite Savatage song).
